How we know · policy checked on October 26, 2026
Shelton State Community College in Tuscaloosa asks international freshmen to have high school transcripts from outside the US evaluated and translated into English, and transcripts already in English still need an evaluation for US high school equivalency; it lists WES, SpanTran and ECE.
Shelton State's evaluation agencies, such as WES and ECE, accept certified translations from professional services such as eVerbary; SpanTran asks for an ATA-certified translator, which eVerbary can assign on request.
You order the translation first, then the evaluation, which we do not provide.

Who translates when the companies "translate and evaluate"
Shelton State describes WES, SpanTran and ECE as companies that translate and evaluate high school and college documents (International freshman admissions). In practice they differ.
WES does not offer translations: it wants an exact, word-for-word translation by a professional translator and rejects applicants' own.
ECE accepts a complete, word-for-word translation, including your own, or translates for its report only under an $85 waiver.
SpanTran (The Evaluation Company) accepts an outside translator only if certified by ATA, or translates itself after your application; eVerbary can assign an ATA-certified translator on request (see below).
Every foreign transcript is evaluated
Even if you studied in an English-speaking country and your transcripts are in English, Shelton State still wants them evaluated for US high school equivalency (International freshman admissions).
If they are not in English, translate the full high school diploma and transcripts before you open the agency file.
Need a certified translation for Shelton State?
$24.95 per page of up to 250 words, certification included, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages. See the price before you pay.
Documents applicants usually translate
- High school transcripts and diploma
- College documents, if you studied at college
- Bank documents for the financial statement, if not in English
What an eVerbary translation includes
- A complete English translation of every page, stamps, seals and handwritten notes included, laid out like the original so each line can be matched.
- Grades exactly as recorded, with the grading scale the document prints. We never convert marks to a US GPA.
- A signed certificate of translation accuracy on letterhead, with our contact details, delivered as a PDF you can upload.
- $24.95 per page of up to 250 words, certification included; 24 hours for one to three pages as standard. Regular clients who need it can get delivery in as little as 30 minutes, on request.
Uploading the translation to Shelton State
The translation goes to WES, SpanTran or ECE with your official transcripts; the evaluation then goes to Shelton State with your application (International freshman admissions).
On request we can email the translation directly to the admissions office.
If you need a translator certified by ATA
Some offices accept only a translator who is personally certified by the American Translators Association (ATA). eVerbary assigns one on request, for the languages ATA certifies into English:
$34.95 per page
Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, Russian and Ukrainian
$44.95 per page
Japanese, Korean, Polish, Dutch, Swedish, Croatian, Danish and Persian
To order it, ask for a free quote and write in the notes that the translation is for Shelton State, which program it is for, and that you need a translator individually certified by ATA, plus anything else the office asks for (notarization, delivery by email to the office).
We confirm the price and the translator before you pay. ATA does not certify other languages into English, so no translator anywhere holds ATA certification for them.
For those languages we provide a notarized certified translation instead, at $44.95 per page plus notarization ($34.90 per order); ask the office to confirm it accepts that, and write its answer in the quote notes.
What we do not do
eVerbary is a translation service, not a credential evaluation service: we do not issue evaluations, US equivalencies or GPA conversions, and we cannot send documents on behalf of the school that issued them.
For Shelton State that means we translate your transcripts; the evaluation is ordered by you from WES, SpanTran or ECE.
How to order
- Scan or photograph every page of the document, front and back, including any stamps on the reverse.
- Upload it, choose the language and "certified", and see the price before paying.
- Receive the PDF, usually within 24 hours for one to three pages, and upload it with the copy of the original wherever the institution asks for it.
